Tonya, what we know is Moore's has been bought out by Hope Lumber, a company
based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
SUPER=@Scott1;

The deal had been in the works for the past few months...
Hope's President and C-E-O confirmed the deal today.
The new owner's first action was to close Moore's distribution center in

(( Moore's will not say how many workers were laid off this morning.
But Vice President for Human Relations Jim Boutilier (boo-teh-LEER) confirmed
the distribution center will shut down January 31st.
The workers got severance packages this morning.
It's the first part of what could be a major restructuring.
Moore's operates 50-lumber stores across the country...three in the Roanoke
area.
Moore's new owner runs lumber yards across the Southwest United States.
Its president and C-E-O Jim Cavanaugh tells News-7 there "definitely will be
a reorganization" at Moore's, meaning some stores will close.
We DO NOT know if that includes stores in the Roanoke area. ))

Moore's is being very tight-lipped about the deal.
The company said it will release more information next week.

Topping tonight's Health CHeck Report...It's that time of year when we think
of colds and flu-- another infection can hit infants and children.
Its called Respiratory synsicial (Sinn-ciss-shul) virus, RSV.
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control says 90-thousand people
mostly infants under six months old, are hospitalized with RSV and 45-hundred
die each year.
(----------------)
VO-NAT

The symptoms are very similar to colds, including a runny nose, cough and
sore throat.
But they can also be more serious: causing rapid breathing, wheezing and
even respiratory distress.
Doctors say parents who have infants or school-aged children need to be on
the alert for these signs and should try to keep kids with these symptoms away
from babies under one year old.
The other thing that parents can do: Kick the habit-- the study found
babies whose parents smoke, are at a much greater risk for RSV.
